Tank drone with automatic targeting and tracking

Humankind is making some great advances toward our own destruction with this tank drone. It’s got a powerful set of treads with an Airsoft rifle perched atop. Thanks to the cameras and the laser this thing can accurately target based on color. The hardware is controlled by a collection of Arduino boards connected via XBee so that Processing can be used on a computer. Just combine this with the facial recognition from yesterday and you’ve got the first generation of Terminators. Watch the clip after the break and you’ll realize that we’re doomed.

Send the Taliban a few thousand copies of terminator movies the release a couple of thousand of these in Afghanistan and the war will be over in a week! (And if not threaten to send in Christian Bale!)

I totally agree, I love these kind of projects but I really doubt anything good’ll come from this sort of technology, well at least not until people have been killed by it and people start fighting fire with fire.

That thing needs a stabilized gun mount. Though it explains why terminators can’t hit the broad side of a barn when they’re chasing after things.
(With the exception of padlocked chains while riding motorcycles.)
